Our Rating System:
We rate albums out of 10. Any album that scores 8 or higher gets a Toe Tag. If an album gets Two Toe Tags then it gets added to the list in the link above. We do not review EP's but we may cover them in our New Release videos should they come up.
In regards to our Reaction videos:
As many of you know RUclips can be an unpredictable and often unfair place when it comes to copyright rules and their enforcement. If our video ends up getting cut due to copyright reasons it will be labeled in the title as a Review rather than a Reaction. The music video portion of the video will be cut out and you will only see our before and after thoughts. Unfortunately this is the best we can do under those circumstances and we would appreciate a Like rating on our videos to help us overcome any negative algorithmic affects.

I can officially confirm that it grows on you so much after the initial listen… At first I was like okay, sweet guitar & drum fills, groovy rhythm, etc. Now, I cannot get that mesmerizing chorus out of my head! I’m always singing it in my head now. I just love how they incorporate various elements of different genres and no one sounds like them, they’re great songwriters, & just awesome. I bet most of the other 6 songs will be on the heavier spectrum, aside from maybe one soft(ish) song.
I can attest to this. Also listening on headphones and on a playlist with the other 3 singles really makes you appreciate the song that much more.
Their last album felt like a break up letter to the fans. I'm so glad this stuff is so positive and empowering. I'm so glad to have kittie back.
@@scaredeecat agreed. It was a very personal album, lyrically, for Morgan to write. The new stuff are bangers and groovy- however, it’s not all positive despite the upbeat feel. As Morgan explained, “‘We Are Shadows’ is about the uncertainty of a future that we can no longer control. We have come to a critical place in life and in our world, and much like an eclipse overtaking the sun, we are losing the light… We’ve let darkness take hold, and so we are resolved to fade in the night with it”
I am just glad that Morgan and Mercedes finally has a band that they've been looking for. Tara and Ivy are awesome!
Tara lives not far from me. I keep hoping I'll randomly meet her.
So glad Kittie is back!
Awesome song!! Love it!! Glad they are back!!! Great video.
I had never heard of them until a few hours ago, and it was this song that got me to check out the rest of their stuff, and then watch a full documentary on them! It may be that I moved out of America around 1997, went to England, and the music scene was so different here at that time than what was going on in America, I kind of abandoned it all to understand my surroundings.
But I took Helmet with me ;) . This is why I missed most of that era with Korn, Slipknot, and what Kittie came around and did on a scene that had no females. And I had to find out a bit more, because I'm all for that happening whenever it can. I await an all female band that gets the accolades The Beatles get, and I know it's going to happen one day. I might not be around to see it, but I really hope it happens.
You say it's a grower, because you're more familiar with their work.
For me it was instant. It's a cut above most of what's out there, even in the female led band current world. One I'm a fan of that splits many opinions is Esquela Grind. Whether you like them or not, I think the power they get on stage is just phenomenal, and the drummer looks like he's barely trying, but doing insane stuff. He's like, chill. At 150mph. Kittie hit me the same way. It's done really well, it's got talent in it, there's thought put into the work. One Foot in the Grave got me to check out Vultures, Eyes Wide Open (which is the right song to lead off any album) and We Are Shadows. Not a grower for me. It led me to see what else they did.
That means a hit. If one song can make you check out the rest of a band's work, that's a hit. And if you keep listening, and going back to that same song to remind you why you think they're worth the time, that's success.
I really hope they do well. Because I honestly think they're going to show everyone how it's done.
That was cool to hear about your experience discovering them. The documentary was my gateway into checking out all their music. In the beginning I was only drawn to their heaviest songs but quickly learned to appreciate all of it. I'm in my 40s and metal is no stranger to me since the 90s, but somehow I didn't pay any attention to Kittie until recently.
This song is my least favorite of all the singles so far but to echo what these guys said in the video it does grow on you. Tara's guitar work is really top notch and of course the production from Nick Rasculinecz rules. I'm happy to hear that it's making people discover more of their music. I feel like that could very well be one of the reasons why they wrote it.
@@soulsvortex10 Thanks for that :D
its an absolute hit.. such a great song... Kittie are fantastic.. such a great song
Kittie kicks fucking ass! I've always loved them. Genuine and heavy as fuck! I embrace the commercial aspects of her singing, because it is bringing in the runts of pop music to their world of metal!!
Lure them in, and then SNAP THEIR NECKS!
When I first saw Eyes Wide Open, i was singing Morgan's praises for working so hard on her dirty vocals, now with One Foot in the Grave I am impressed to see Mercedes has some vocal chops too, and of course Morgan still has her signature clean vocals which again she has clearly been working on as well. One of my all-time favorite bands that I never heard of before I listened to them is 2Cents and their drummer is the main vocalist (The Monkeys style). So I just love when drummers do vocals too. It is very common with guitar and bass but rare with drummers. It has been a blast to see this band grow and evolve, and see them as people grow and evolve too. All the while staying true to their nu metal roots. I don't like every one of their songs 100% but I have always added a handful of songs from each album since SPIT to my playlist and all for different reasons. I can not thank them enough for their range and the variety of music they have provided.
Agreed, and I could be wrong here but I believe all the vocals on this song were performed by Morgan and they made some clever edits for the video. Mercedes most certainly does backing vocals live but here it just sounds like Morgan to me. It was something similar in the "Brackish" video where Fallon is seen singing the backup vocals but it was confirmed by Morgan that she sang them all in the studio.
Great Reviews As Always Guys!First Album In The Past 13 Years! Seems Like Their Evolving! Great Job Girls 🎤🎸🤘🖤
He’ll yea I’m hyped for 🔥 and my favorite of the four is we are shadows and you are absolutely 100% correct the first time I heard this song I was ok by the fifth time I was like heck yea 🤘🏽
The Warning has the same angst that Kittie has.
This is the most "Sumerian" sounding of their tracks so far, but I am such a fanboy, I will be buying this album regardless.
Sumerian sounding?
I was on the bus in 2000. My classmate gave me the Spit album. So, that was cool.
such a very heavier and more melodic much more dynamics between the songs so far sounds so awesome such nice variety with the death growls of mercedes and raspy sreams from morgan some more holy heay metal fire such a hot item this album is holy smokes
Very clearly only one of you truly vibing with Kittie's return 🤣
They desperately need more official merch. I want to support them by buying some but it's a pain in the dick to find any. Think I will preorder the album on CD!
They have 3 new shirts coming out at least, and I did a pre-order bundle for their CD that comes with 2 shirts, a cassette, a lunchbox, and some of their for $100. They have it on Sumerian- they also have a shirt and cd for $45… And now that I’m looking, even though they both show 2 t-shirts with the package, I guess you have to choose one which is bogus & makes my $100 deal a lot less cools.
They will be opening an official webstore sometime soon. I emailed them about the "Meditation" backdrop design being made into a shirt and Morgan herself replied to me that those shirts are in the works, and will be available at the headline shows and the upcoming webstore.
@@confessorsedaiI pre-ordered the ultimate pack too. I believe that one has the exclusive shirt, but the CD pack is the one where you have to pick between the "Fire" and "We Are Shadows" designs. I went with the latter and giving the 2nd CD to a friend. Hopefully I can get the other shirt at the Chicago show.
glad i found you guys cause im in the fire euphoria.i honestly like the wgole album.but fire is my fave.
I like that this song is so different from what they've put out thus far. They have range, they're proving that they still have tricks up their sleeve, and it's definitely a song that can reach a wider audience. The band went dormant because they weren't getting much traction and it was tiresome. This song I think is a great way to keep gas in the engine and help them reach even more people. I'm all for whatever keeps Kittie going..not to mention the song IS good even though it sorta comes out of left field. This is definitely one of those "arena rock anthem" type songs and it'd sound amazing live with everyone in the crowd of a huge venue singing it.
Agreed, and on top of that I think that it will flow well with the rest of the album. I've been jamming all 4 singles on a playlist and despite this one being an outlier separately, it somehow just works when enjoyed with the other songs together. Yeah, it's more accessible than the others but it's still undeniably the same band with the same great guitar leads, drumming, production and even the vocals which are "softer" but also a testament to Morgan's progression as a singer.
I will add that if you're familiar with their 2007 album Funeral for Yesterday then this song is a bit easier to swallow. That whole album had a predominantly accessible vibe with a couple borderline ballads. I happen to really enjoy it myself even though the band hasn't really played any songs off of it live in a long time. But if you listen to a song like "Slow Motion" followed by this one then you can start to see some parallels for sure.
The chorus in a concert everybody gonna sing that part
Very anthemic!!!
Got this album last week. It kills. OFITG I'm kind of half meh about, but the rest of it is a steamroller.
i like old kittie hopefully they are still brutal
Did you hear "Eyes Wide Open"???
i kind of got halestorm vibes.. especially the intro
I heard A LOT of crap like this in the nineties. You take a guitar, pump up the volume,scream a bit,maybe you growl here and there and you think you play metal. This is weak and fake.
If this was the first song I heard from them then I would be hard pressed to argue with you, but they have more than proven themselves as a legit metal band time and time again. You only need to go back a few weeks to their previous singles "Vultures" and "Eyes Wide Open" to see this. Not to mention dozens of songs from 2001-2011 when they were last active. Seeing them live is horns up all the way. I know.
This song does not define their sound, and that doesn't mean that I hate it because I don't. But they have earned the right to go off course a bit after being a band for nearly 30 years. Besides, they went down this road of accessible/melodic/radio friendly sound already long ago on the album Funeral for Yesterday. Fans stood by them then and they stand by them now. The new album is going to be fucking metal. A lighter song adds variety and maybe attracts new listeners. No need to shit on them for doing what they enjoy.
OP I GENUFLECT BEFORE YOUR MIGHT YOU ARE SO TRUE AND SO KULT AND SO METAL AND SO TOUGH
OMG YOU ARE SO TOUGH BRO IM AT YOUR MERCY
